- “It has a great soundtrack.”
- “After 60 minutes of enduring the same jaunty musical loop, while fighting some of the most frustrating and finicky platforming since 'The Lion King', I was ready to give up.”

The gameplay is described as fun and simple, featuring interesting platforming sequences despite a lack of variety. However, it suffers from significant issues such as a permanently inverted camera, poor depth perception, and a lack of impactful character movement, which detracts from the overall experience. While the visual style and accompanying music are appreciated, they do not compensate for the mundane gameplay loop.
- “The gameplay was fun and simple.”
- “Even if they don't have a lot of variety in their gameplay, they at the very least have interesting platforming sequences.”
- “The tunes which accompanied both are bops. I can appreciate the vibe Sokpop is going for here, as the slightly hazy and blurry fidelity of the visuals paired with the cutesy, eye-popping visual direction work well, but it’s a surface-level distraction from the mundane nature of its gameplay loop.”
- “I dock points again, because if Electric Fairyland were actually tangibly and mechanically robust, I could probably push through to the end. Instead, it suffers from a horrendous, permanently inverted camera, unavoidably inaccurate depth perception, and a complete lack of oomph behind your character's movements.”
- “Now about the gameplay: it's a 3D platformer where camera manipulation is mandatory to line up jumps properly.”
